Kyle Freeland steadies ship in Rockies' narrow victory

Kyle Freeland turned in a solid performance on Saturday, allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings in the Rockies' 4-3 win over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Freeland's rocky season stats, including a bloated 5.63 ERA and 1.54 WHIP entering the game. His performance against the Giants showed signs of stability, potentially indicating a positive adjustment in his pitching approach. However, his season-long issues with high ERA and WHIP, coupled with a modest strikeout rate of 6.4 K/9, suggest that while he can be a useful spot starter in favorable matchups, relying on him as a regular fantasy starter could still be risky. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his outings closely before making any long-term roster decisions.
